What is a Vape Pen?

A vape pen is an e-liquid model starter kit which is quite simply a pen-shaped e-cigarette starter kit that requires vape juice (e-liquid) to top it up. It's also known as a tank kit and is the must-have starting point for any new vaper who wants to subsequently top up with e-juice (as opposed to cartomizers). Choosing a refillable e-liquid vape pen over a kit that requires refill cartridges gives you access to an unbelievable range of nicotine strengths and flavors: if you're looking for a vaping experience that gives you great performance and lets you choose exactly what flavor you want to vape, a vape pen is the option for you!

Difference Between an E Liquid Vape Pen & a Cigarette-Style Kit:

An cigarette-style kit (aka cigalike) looks like a cigarette and requires cartomizer refills, which are screwed or pressed onto the bottom of your electronic cigarette battery. Whilst the choice of these refills is broad (you can get everything from vanilla to menthol flavour refills), the choice of refills with vape juice is seemingly endless (as you will see!).

Vape pen kits are slightly larger devices (although they are getting smaller and slimmer), and, as the name suggests, they are pen-shaped e-cigarettes. Vape pens are normally made up of a battery and a refillable vape juice tank. Rather than having disposable e-liquid chambers like cigalikes, vape pens generally have replaceable coils (heating elements). Vape pens are a great economical option as vape juice and coils are often cheaper than buying pre-filled refill cartridges. Vape juice comes in a huge range of flavors, including fruit and dessert flavours, menthol mixtures, old-school candy classics and a huge variety of tobacco blends (from standard tobacco to pipe tobacco to flavored blends). If you can imagine a flavor, it probably exists! E Liquid vape pens are very easy to use, and if you're happy to refill a tank occasionally, they are a fantastic option for getting into vaping.

You can also buy pod mods, which generally have the flavor and performance of a vape pen but take pre-filled pods just like a cigarette-style kit. The JUUL Starter Kit is one of our most popular pod mods.
